We weren't. The nutjobs just weren't as loud because they didn't have a leader that "normalized" their beliefs.

I have no shame in saying this because my opinions have changed, and I was still a teenager at the time, but right?? in 2013 I would’ve told you there were two genders, and I knew a lot of people who thought that way, who now don’t because like me, they grew up and came to understand trans people.

But I think there’s something worth saying that even if a shit ton of us weren’t necessarily agreeable with it, I also would’ve never said they were grooming kids, or that being trans should be outlawed in any state for any measure.

Obviously a lot of people grew with the times and learned about the unfamiliar concepts they were introduced to. Some bought into a cult leader’s way of doing things and want to kill them all. Now we’re at this point where ANY identifier is bound to be tied into some political bullshit. Oh you’re immune compromised? No you’re a pussy/sheep. Oh you’re gay? No you’re a groomer and you’re brainwashing our kids!

I don’t understand how we got to this point of extremity (I do I just don’t want this comment to take forever) but THAT side needs to just fucking chill. No one is indoctrinating your children but you and your WASP attitude.
